I’m picturing half the main house dedicated to driftwood when you say “island detritus”. House looks amazing though. Well done.

Painted in washed out pastels with 'amusing' sayings on them in illegible fonts?

Haha, I wish! Unfortunately not many trees here so not much driftwood..that idea blew my mind when I first realised it. Do get some good stuff occasionally and plenty of bones and nice rocks but mainly ghost gear and fish farm equipment..
We’re kind of sheltered by other islands too so generally any good ocean stuff from the Atlantic has hit another shoreline before it reaches us..
@si_mon628 haha are we aiming for some “quarter past gin” or bleak existential statements that carry a bit of dark humour instead?
@PeteJChurchill I can see us embracing that kind of thinking in time. Embedding ourselves into a proper relationship with the weather and the seasons and the ground has to force out some of our civ focussed understanding I’m hoping..

Yeah it’s taken us a bit by surprise too, now we’ve seen it up we’re second guessing whether we should have gone down the tiny house route and no mortgage.. I think we made the right decision though, and might as well build before we go to part time and can’t get a mortgage for any kind of large scale extension in the future. I’m sure 20 years down the line and after years of island detritus accumulation we’ll appreciate the space!
